More than half a month has passed since the Sakura Festival.

The noisy scene of that day is still vivid in my mind.

Everyone gathers together to drink, enjoy cherry blossoms, perform, and have fun. Even if not all members participate in the activities, it is still very lively.

The most anticipated event is called ‘Bingo’, which is actually equivalent to a lottery.

The first prize is two hospitality tickets to a well-known resort in Fiore, and the final prize is only a snack.

Unfortunately, Rhodes' luck was average. Even if he asked Worm to come out and get an extra spot, he only won a small piece of cake in the end.

And it’s still in Worm.

As for the first prize...it was actually taken away by that guy Nabu, and he also invited Pidgeda to go on vacation with him.

It makes people... don't know what to say.

But the thing that Rhodes will never forget the most is of course the huge magical cherry blossom tree that turns into rainbow colors at night.

Dozens of people who could support each other in battle gathered together to enjoy the dreamlike scenery. This was an experience that Rhodes had never had before.

At that moment, he felt great peace of mind and happiness.

That day, he did not focus entirely on Mira, but on everyone's smiles and the happiness of every companion.

When the celebration is over, every time I recall the rainbow-colored cherry blossom trees, I feel like I can see everyone in the dreamy colors.

Today, more than half a month later, when he and Elfman teamed up to go out to work, he thought of this incident, and Rhodes couldn't help but sigh:

"Why is Nabu so lucky!"

Even though he dressed like a chief, he looked like a European emperor during the lottery - is this reverse poisonous milk?

Elfman looked at him: "Do you still care about that?"

"Of course. Don't you want a three-day and two-night hospitality voucher for Akane Resort?"

"Of course I want it, but a man can't control his luck." Elfman said regretfully, "I originally wanted to give it to my sister after winning the prize."

Rhodes said empathetically: "Me too, alas..."

"Oh... man!" Elfman suddenly wanted to hit him again.

Rhodes chose to change the topic: "Forget it, let me tell you the details first. Do you still remember the mission content?"

Elfman said: "Help a tribe leader find his children who have run away from home, right? You also have to protect their village for a while."

"To be precise, the brother and sister did not run away from home, but acted on their own initiative." Rhodes explained the mission details in detail, "The village is called Monotropa. The entire village is a clan, and the village leader is the clan leader."

"There is a mention in the history of the Kingdom of Fiore. It is a very ancient tribe. Although it has begun to be influenced by outside culture in recent years, it still maintains a large number of customs passed down from ancient times."

"Monotropa has a treasure called the 'Tears of Cres', which is made of gold and precious stones and has been handed down from ancient times to this day."

"But the value of this treasure does not lie in the gold and gems themselves, but in the legend - as long as you have this treasure, the village will have good weather every year."

"This saying has been passed down from generation to generation. The village also holds a grand sacrificial event every year to pray for the blessings of the ancestors. It feels somewhat similar to the harvest festival." "But there is something unusual this year. The treasure occasionally emits strange light, and some villagers see it.

There were strange people appearing nearby. So the village chief suspected that someone was eyeing the 'Tears of Chris'."

Elfman crossed his arms and guessed: "Could it be that the brother and sister went out to investigate the suspicious person without permission?"

Rhodes nodded: "Absolutely. I probably feel that as the clan leader's children, I have the responsibility to protect the village's treasures, so I want to find out as soon as possible. If someone is really planning something evil, we should catch him as soon as possible."

"Why does this always happen..." Elfman didn't know how to describe it.

It seems that when teaming up with Rhodes, we encountered such impulsive children many times.

Although the intentions are good, reckless behavior often leads to trouble.

Rhodes didn't answer. We often encounter him. Of course, it's because your sister and I carefully selected the mission.

However, there are indeed too many such reckless young people.

It is obviously a matter that can be easily solved by finding a magician, but the client's children make the task more difficult.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo has averted several tragedies since his debut with his steady style and good strength.

Although this kind of thing is a relatively proud experience, Rhodes still hopes from the bottom of his heart that they can be more careful.

Elfman asked: "Who are those brothers and sisters? They are not children again, are they?"

The client was probably too worried about the safety of his children, so he gave very detailed information. Rhodes even pulled out two photos and handed them to Elfman:

"The situation this time is slightly better than before. My brother is Mal, 21 years old, and my sister is Veina, 18 years old."

"Because their village has practiced martial arts since ancient times, the brother and sister have never given up training since they were young, so they are already the best warriors in the village at a young age. Those two will be fine even if they fight against a tiger or even a rhino."

"The shortcoming is that they are too stubborn. Maybe our biggest problem is not how to find them, but how to bring them back."

Elfman asked: "If it's so strong, why do you ask us to find it?"

Rhodes said: "Originally we were asked to investigate who was targeting the Tears of Chris, but yesterday villagers discovered the carcasses of grizzly bears and wild boars near the village.

They were all killed in one blow, and they didn't look like the fighting methods used by the clan. The clan leader thought that magicians might be involved, so he added requirements for retrieving the brother and sister and corresponding rewards."

Elfman punched the palm of his left hand with his right fist: "I see, as a magician who wants to rob other people's treasures, a man will never let them go!"

Rhodes warned: "Don't be careless. Being able to kill large beasts like grizzly bears and wild boars with one move means that the opponent is still very dangerous, and the number of people is unknown. There may be trouble."

"Don't worry." Elfman nodded. The opponent was indeed dangerous, but he himself had experienced quite dangerous battles when performing missions, so he would not be afraid.

As for the opponent's number of people... isn't the human wave tactic what Rhodes is best at?

As soon as the enemy showed up, or even before it showed up, Rhodes's summoned beasts had already surrounded them, and even surrounded them in three lines: air, ground, and underground.

Every time you team up with him and encounter a battle, if you don't move quickly, you may not even get a chance to take action.

Although the task would be completed easily that way, what the manly Elfman wanted was not the kind of victory that relied entirely on Rhodes.
Chapter completed!
